Tropical Queensland architecture, intimate candle-lit tables, exquisite meals using only the region’s freshest ingredients - The Plantation is a true tropical Queensland fine-dining experience right in the heart of Cairns. Open daily for breakfast and dinner, a meal at The Plantation is one of healthy indulgence.

Our restaurant was voted 2006 and 2007 Cairns Restaurant of the Year by the northern chapter of the Australian Culinary Federation and in April 2009 our chefs won Best Dessert in ACF’s Gold Box Challenge.

Our chefs use our region’s special delicacies such as seafood from the Coral Sea and beef, fruit and vegetables from our superb hinterland.

Our philosophy is to present food with modern simplicity, and our menus reflect modern Australian/Asian/Mediterranean dishes. We also offer Hot Rock © Cuisine which is, quite simply, the best way to enjoy the tastes of the region’s best tender beef and fresh local seafood! Hot Rocks dining combines the ancient art of stone cooking with modern-day technology.

You become the chef, adding fresh ingredients directly onto your hot volcanic stone. It’s a unique and innovative dining experience that can be enjoyed together with the whole family or a group of friends.
